In the evening, trees throughout the park can be lit with a sparkling and colorful display. One feels like they're in a snow globe sitting in front of the crackling fireplace, looking out.

Bear Park Is Perfect
My husband and I absolutely loved this property! It was perfect in every way! I can’t say enough good things about this property and the hosts. The cabin is clean and cozy, and the property grounds are awesome. You just have to experience it to believe it. Every expectation was exceeded. We can’t thank the hosts enough for their help. They notified us of an impending winter storm, and navigated us through options and overall decision making. We are forever grateful for their honesty and care for our safety!! They are the best!!

Mountain Retreat
The cabin was fabulous and upon arrival we could tell immediately how much it meant that our stay was enjoyable and convenient. Our host had stocked several treats and other everyday items to make our stay memorable. We had a few questions along the way and our host were the most attentive and informative of any host I have ever experienced. The cabin is definitely high country, but if you are looking for a quite retreat surrounded by beauty this is the place. We will certainly be back in late summer to see more of natures wonders in this amazing little gem.

Perfect Post-Christmas Vacation
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Frank and Kenny’s cabin and it surpassed all of our expectations. The house is so charming. The attention to all details is impeccable, and each part of the house exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with everything one might need during their stay. The bedroom furnishings were very comfortable. Each bed was equipped with heating pads and multiple blankets that were very much needed after a day in the snow. One of the highlights of the property is the outdoor space. Our 3 boys enjoyed every moment trekking through the snow and building snowmen on the deck. The property is lit up in the evenings and is truly magical. We had the best time feeding the birds and squirrels off of the deck and multiple times, they would land and eat directly from our hands, which for little ones is mesmerizing.The cabin is a short drive to numerous towns worth visiting, however, playing games at the cabin, sledding down the hill, utilizing all wintry activities on the property is more than enough entertainment. Kenny and Frank deserve accolades for their outstanding hospitality. We have rented numerous homes and this one by far was one of our best experiences. The check in process was seamless, they were always prompt to respond, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We would not hesitate to recommend renting this property and are eager to return with our children!

Peaceful stay
This cabin was everything it was described as. It was so clean and lovely. It had everything we could have needed and more. We loved sitting in the living room watching the birds, squirrels and chipmunks. One evening we sat outside under the propane heaters, in the ‘magical forest’ and set peanuts on our laps and actually had the chipmunks eating from our laps! How fun! A fun thing to do is go hiking nearby at St Mary’s Glacier trail. There is a beautiful lake at the top. We even got to see a moose and her calf while there. A great place to eat in town is Beau Jo’s pizza. Fantastic pizza! All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely come back. Frank is fantastic to deal with. Any questions we had, he got back with us immediately. He was very helpful. Definitely 5/5

Best friend and I stayed at this wonderful cabin in the woods for 4 days this past month.
From the communications from owners to the drive up the mountain to cabin all was perfect.
Kitchen has everything you could need.plenty of ice.
The bedrooms are cozy and beds comfortable. Plenty of blankets and pillows.
Sofa very comfortable,firewood for fireplace,right there.
Deck,the deck. Comes equipped with cutest Disney like creatures. They visit everyday.
We liked setting out in the private park and waiting for the lights to come on. Magic!!!
There's a Safeway approximately 10 miles from cabin,good restaurants, coffee shop.
Once you're settled in the cabin, it's hard to leave.

Just Wonderful
What can I say? Our experience was perfect. The cabin was spotless upon arrival and the property is right out of a story book. The hosts thought of every possible amenity to make our stay comfortable, memorable, and relaxing. I had mentioned it was going to be my 50th birthday and was delightfully surprised with a birthday balloon and card, a bottle of champagne, and tasty snacks to start off my celebration. Communication was a breeze and, honestly, it was like talking with an old friend. The second day of our stay was cold and rainy, but we made a fire in the wood stove and the cabin stayed cozy and warm. It was the prefect Colorado mountain vacation we were looking for. We would 100% stay here again.

Concert at Red Rock Ampitheater
This was a trip planned with my son and husband for a concert at Red Rock. This cabin was the perfect location. Easy to get to Red Rock but also near so many other points of interest. Quaint little towns, Idaho Falls and Golden. Plus lots of hiking trails. The cabin itself for me was like something out of a storybook. The intetior was immaculate and very homey and comfortable. The grounds were also very well maintained with a walkway thru the backyard that magically light up at night. The wildlife was all around us. The owners were very responsive and made this vacation the perfect getaway. You could literally show up with just a change of clothes and a toothbrush and be good to go. My only regret was not staying longer. Would definitely recommend staying at this cabin. Looking forward to a return visit.
